Price is a bit steep, since it looks like it needs a lot of work, and there is the 
toytyo engine... Maybe R20k

looks to be genuine, but some of the thing in the back (eg the fridge) dont belong in there...

Re: Is this bus genuine and worth it? Advice needed pls
Yes, it's a genuine SA-assembled westy. Yes, the hacking required for the radiator, engine and fridge devalue the bus. But I disagree re the value. R30k is probably spot on. The poms are selling our westies in that condition for GBP8k. It's probably been nabbed by an exporter already.

Re: Is this bus genuine and worth it? Advice needed pls
Its worth a look at the 30K IMO. Unless its hiding severe rust cancer, suspension, or brakes issues.

Unless its hiding severe rust cancer, It's got rust, but don't they all BUT not bad!!
suspension, No suspension issues
or brakes issues. I would up grade to disc's for BETTER stopping, breaks are good
Like I said come have a look and test drive. This bus runs very good!!
